This vendor is at the lower level food court in the complex on the SE corner of Main and Roosevelt. They’re at the corner to the right. I’ve visited them pretty often. Before for their radish cake (no longer offered bec it was too time consuming, per Manager Huang), now the fried dumplings. Overall, their foods are on the sweet side, and stingy on portion. Good thing is that they take credit card but overcharged me.
It’s interesting to note, they advertise the fried dumpling $7.99 and $9.99 but made no effort to return the penny – not that I care but it reminds me of my experience in Beijing as well.

Opening hours are daily, 7:30am to 9pm.
A newly opened (one month old) Cantonese restaurant, right outside of the subway escalator.
The young lady is very friendly. The service is good. Food is slightly above average. We took them to the US Open, which is great:
S1 Dumplings – ok
H2 Rice noodle chow fun and beef 干炒牛河 – very good
T3 roasted duck – ok
They’ve one big and clean bathroom.
For the convenience, after US Open I returned for more
~ E12 beef stew – good
~ Beef and bitter melon – good (huge pieces)
~ T6 n T7 roast pig 叉烧 n 烧猪肉 – good
~ E15 salty fish, chicken and eggplant – this classic dish began with tofu but they use eggplant which is pretty good
Wish them good luck and prosper.

This wine store has been there for ages. And recently we shopped there for a few times, realizing that the old store owner was gone. Two Chinese men manning the store. When I asked where the curly hair man was, one of them said, “Oh, the boss is from China.”
The other wine shop at the Garden Zheng Brothers Wine Liquor is also owned by Chinese – don’t know if by the same owner.
They did a decent renovation of the store, which is nice, injected some life into the small space.

Fake flowers … ehhhhh
The last time we were there, was a different restaurant, under different name.
This one’s decor is pleasant. One lady serves the room. I’ve a partial view of the one monitor that’s on, I ask her to change to US Open which she did. Although I’ve full view of the other two monitors but she didn’t offer to turn either of them on. I would have stayed longer with more drinks.
Food: big portion but yummy. The green sauce is devious.

An average bar on the water. Clean bathroom. Accessible by cars and boats – shirtless, bikinis. A good place to watch the US Open
Both Tampa Cuban and pizza – they call it flat bread are good. The River Mary is yummy – spicy and salty. Oddly enough, they don’t serve salad.
